Again, you need to know what you are talking about , then post.

No you don't know anything about religion if you couldn't even make a sound interpretation of the word.

yes there are parables in the bible that should not be taken literally.
at least your not denying that science has mythological stories no more...your the one making progress...lol

What stories are mythological in science? I never said that.

so who decides how to interpret the figurative parts? i already covered the theological mess that creates and how the given answer from your cult has already been proven wrong..

catch up!

you know nothing about faith, or the belief in God...the foundation of religion...by your own admission you neither have faith, or believe in God...but yet claim to be an expert on the subjects...funny.

in fact, i have repeatedly shown i seem to know more about it than the people here that claim to be believers.

most studies show that atheists, freethinkers, non-beleivers, know more about religion than most people who claim to be adherents to said religion.

as i stated earlier, learning about religion is one of the surest ways to create nonbelievers. this is why all relgions have resisted educated the masses about their religion. historical fact.

i certainly understand the concepts,a dn i know religion, which is what we are talking about.

yes, I have studied the history of the belief in god. in many gods. this is where i draw my comments about the cult-like nature of relgigions.

if you can show where my knowledge of these are in error, please do so. you seem to have been trying for a while now and have not done it once.

given proof that theres isn't one shred of evidence for any god, gods or goddesses. many times.

where's your proof of your god? why can't you provide that?

actually, the universe has no center...so anywhere can be an arbitrary center...

The statement that the earth is the center of the universe...is a subjective truth.

The same as anywhere can be a starting point of a circle.

Faith and God lie beyond concepts...

Isa 40:18
To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

When you are tired of beating around the bush, let me know.
Until then!

It did not even come from their religion. Nowhere in scripture does it suggest the Sun revolves around the Earth in a perfect circular motion. The church borrowed those ideas from the ancient Greek philosophers. So the Inquisition was threatening scientists with being burned at the stake for not agreeing with...

That is how truly nuts the church was.

Show us your evidence FOR the existence of a God.

How does one prove a negative? Like with the tooth fairy, the greys or sasquatch it is the believers who need to show the evidence. If they have none then what is the credibility of their claim?

Given that depending on the religion pretty much anything can be defined as a god I suppose that if you believe there are lifeforms in the universe more advanced than we are...
